Olfactory Receptor 1L8 (OR1L8) antibody

Antigen: Olfactory Receptor 1L8 (OR1L8)

Synonyms: OR9-24

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350623

Additional Information

Alternative name: olfactory receptor (OR1L8, OR9-24)

Swiss-Prot: Q8NGR8

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of human olfactory receptor (OR1L8, OR9-24) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. Theolfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes.olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. Theolfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. FUNCTION: Odorant receptor SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for Olfactory receptor OR1L8.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 200 to 1 : 3000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
